  • Patent number: 4946172
    Abstract: A safety lawn dart having a blunt deformable nose section. The blunt nose section is a safety feature permitting use of the lawn dart without fear of the injury associated with the use of existing lawn darts having pointed tips. A shock-absorbing telescopic intermediate section may be added to increase the deadening effect upon impact of the dart with the ground or target. A tail section is fixably or slideably and rotatably mounted on the dart shaft to promote aerodynamic stability.

  • Patent number: 4525877
    Abstract: Disclosed is an improved sports glove, for use in a game such as racquetball, having a front portion comprised of a strong, substantially inextensible material such as leather, and a rear portion made from a perspiration absorbing material, such as terry cloth. The glove also includes an integral wrist portion which is made of the same perspiration absorbing material as the rear portion, and attached to this wrist portion is a wrist support band which is wrapped around the wrist and secured by a piece of Velcro. Reinforcing pads may be placed on the front portion of the glove in positions particularly susceptible to wear. A very smooth elastic material may also be inserted between the front and rear portions of the fingers so as to provide the fingers with greater freedom of movement. This very smooth elastic material should be of a size smaller than the rear finger portions and larger than the front finger portions so as to impart a natural curvature to the glove fingers.
